We are all amazed that another whole year has passed and our anniversary celebrations are with us again for that wonderful day in April 2008, when I said farewell to accounting! Who would have predicted the nextent to which our lives were to change?

The photo above was taken as I received my lovely leaving gifts at Storey & Tawle, the Raffsburgh accountancy firm I had worked with for so long. (This link will take you to the original post). Oh the joys I have had looking through the lovely telescope - most especially gazing all those light years away to Planet Earth, and knowing that all my dear human bloggy-friends are there!

My first ever blog post was The Escape of a Giraffe Accountant, when I handed in my notice, and since then we haven't looked back! Our new family business Giraffe World Tours was born, we bought our bus, we moved house, we've had nexciting adventures, made lots of mistakes, had lots of fun, grown closer as a family. And we're always moving on to the neckst step of the way! Even when we don't know what it is ...

If I have one nexhortation for you, dear human bloggy-friends, it is this: Stick your necks out for your dreams!

NEW! Version of my blog in chronological order!

Stick your neck out and become a follower!

About Me

I think of myself as quite an ordinary giraffe really. Very much a family man - couldn't be without Maureen, she's my inspiration in everything. (Maybe I'm not so ordinary after all - Maureen certainly isn't, and neither are the kids!) I'm rambling ...
Maureen keeps me gently in Giraffe World when I get carried away with my more convoluted ideas. She's always serene and calms everyone just by looking at them with her beautiful enigmatic eyes. She's also a brilliant saleswoman!
Nexi and Necky Becky squabble a lot, as sisters do. Nexi is totally focussed on design and her boyfriend, and likes the world to accommodate this. Necky B. is rather a grumpy little rebel. She's dyed her fur pink and goes everywhere with her Neckshund dog, Hals.
Littl' Nicky is the baby of the family. I think he takes after me - he's quite a philosopher. (The others say his utterances make a lot more sense than mine!)
I worked for 17 years as an accountant, but always felt there was more. The elusive 'something' that you know you should be doing, but you're not quite sure what. Then suddenly - right idea, right time! Now you have to stick your neck out and go for it ...
